What is the Fiat 500L?
The Fiat 500L is a five-door MPV that brings the 500’s rounded styling to a taller, roomier body. It adds a more practical choice to the 500 family, with space for everyday passenger and family use.
Fiat introduced the 500L in 2012. Its design carries familiar 500 details into a more upright shape, while the cabin is arranged for flexibility. Fiat later added versions with different seating and luggage arrangements.

Fuel consumption and markets
The lowest listed EU consumption is 4.8 L/100 km on WLTP. The UK figure is 3.9 L/100 km on NEDC, and France’s is 4 L/100 km on NEDC.

WLTP and NEDC are European test procedures; EPA and Canada’s 5-cycle procedure are used in their respective markets, so results are not directly equivalent.
